RCA P52960 52 picture warped, shuts on, turns back on by itself

I have a 12 year old RCA rear projection (P52960) and it has never given me any problems until Sunday. The corners of the screen started turning up, it looked like the picture was bowed in, and it has been turning itself off and then right back on. This TV was a hand me down, I can't afford a new one. I've searched the internet and it sounds like it may be a convergence problem. I looked at some convergence problem images and it isn't as bad as the ones I have seen. It is almost still watchable (can you tell I am broke lol) the centre of the screen is still clear. It almost looks like it is 3D on the edges. Is there anyway this is a DIY fix?

you would have to swap out the convergence board itself and you would need to order the part either from a delaer or through a tv repair shop.all you have to give them is the make and model of the tv and they will tell you what you need from there as far as which board etc

I just fixed my D52W20 by replacing three CAPS. Two of them were vented(bulging at the top). I replaced CP150 2200uf 16v with a 2200uf 50V, CP110 220uf 200v and CP114 220uf 35v. It was also recommended to replace CP120 but I did not have one. Check the green CAPS and replace any that are vented.

SOURCE: Bow tie looking picture with 3d color mis-alignment

you have lost convergence. First thing to check is to see if you are missing the convergence option in the customer setup menu. if you do not have this option then i suggest reading the article in the tips and tricks section entiltled "the fl231 fuse problem" this is a common and sometime easy repair if you do have it then you might need a convergence power board

Go to menu then setup if you do not see convergence in menu then FL231 is bad it is on right side of FBT flyback Transfomer on the deflection board their is 3 of them in a roll small brown rectrangler looking caps but are fuses it will be the one in the Middle if fuse is good try this with set off Press and Hold at same time vol- and ch- see if set will come on this is How to Enter service Mode.

Picture is warped, colors are off.

The ITC222 and ITC222A convergence option missing repair kit should repair that issue. You can get the kit at www.tvrepairworld.com which contains the parts and the CD with instructions its 24.95

52 INCH RCA REAR PROJECTION SHUTS OFF

Your TV is overheating.. easiest remedy is to point a fan at the back of the TV or... clean the inside of the TV, Im sure its full of dust and stuff... this prevents air circulation inside the TV thus creating more heat...

61 inch proj. warped concave picture.

Josh Any chance you could send a photo... Too many ideas come to mind from what you've described. Would actually have to see the "warp" in the picture itself to see if it's one or all colors, any boarders and if the bend is actually pulling from top or bottom.. Bill [email protected]
